I am a busy working mom with 2 hungry boys (3 if you count my husband) but no amount of time is too much to spend planning and preparing a nice meal for my family. Here are some of my thoughts..... enjoy!

We really like scalloped potatoes, but we’ve only ever eaten the boxed kind (kind of pathetic, I know). So I searched online and found Tyler Florence’s Scallop Potatoes recipe, which I modified to fit the ingredients I had on hand. These potatoes were good but not what we are used to. We didn’t care for the parmesan flavor (to us it tasted like Alfredo potatoes); we really missed the usual cheddar flavor. So I think next time I will substitute cheddar cheese for the parmesan cheese.

DirectionsPreheat oven to 375. In a saucepan, heat cream with Italian seasoning, and garlic.While cream is heating, butter a casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes.
